Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms Gordon Research Conference (GRC) 2019

Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms Gordon Research Conference (GRC) is organized by Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) and will be held from Mar 31 - Apr 05, 2019 at Renaissance Tuscany Il Ciocco Resort & Spa, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy.

Course Description:
Disorders of heart rhythm are leading causes of sudden death and stroke. Recent progress in elucidating molecular, cellular and systems level mechanisms have promoted new concepts that have inspired more effective treatment strategies. The 2019 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms will emphasize the multiscale nature of current challenges in understanding arrhythmia biology, and highlight emerging multidisciplinary investigational and therapeutic approaches in this important field.

The long-term objective of this meeting is to provide a forum for investigators – junior, mid-level and senior – to engage in focused discussion on the latest discoveries in the field of cardiac arrhythmia mechanisms. The meeting fosters the development of trainees by supporting an associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms at which trainees will present their research findings, as well as in a panel discussion with mentors on matters of career pathways and professional development.

This 2019 GRC will integrate topics ranging from the atomic, molecular and organ levels to the translation of basic science discoveries to improve treatment outcomes. Highlights will include new applications of cutting edge technologies, genetic and genomic mechanisms, complex mechanisms regulating heart rhythm, and the future trajectory of antiarrhythmic therapies.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
